Running Towards a Beautiful Me!

Beauty in a Box by Papemelroti

I was rummaging on my old stuff last night (a constant thing I do these past few days) when I came across this small, brown box. Written on its cover is: “Beauty in a Box”- Easy & natural ways to shine using homemade remedies! And by the looks of it, it was brought in Papemelroti—a famous specialty shop for gifts and decorative accessories. Though I cannot see the Papemelroti trademark on the box and on any of the pages of paper inside the pack, I am a hundred percent sure that it was and true enough, when I searched for it online, it was one of the products being sold by Papemelroti. This box doesn’t belong to me. I cannot remember of buying this one, I’m sure of it. Maybe this was a gift to my sister she totally forget about. I’ll ask her later...

I am going to pose some beauty remedies here that I like the most among the 47. I will try doing them this week and tell you guys if it is effective (which I’m sure it is). And I hope you go and try them too! =)

FACIAL SCRUB:

For Oily Skin: Mix 1 tsp. skim milk powder with 1 tsp. honey. Add a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice if your skin is very oily. Use that as a mild scrub on your face. The undissolved milk powder forms a gentle scrub. Rinse very well.

For Normal, Dry or Mature skin: Mix 1 tsp. full cream or whole milk powder with 1 tsp. honey. Use as a mild scrub on your face. Rinse very well.
You should use lots of water to rinse so as to prevent bacterial residue.

MOISTURIZER MASK:

Mix 2 tablespoons of honey with 2 tablespoons milk. Smooth them over your face and throat. Leave on for 10 minutes and rinse with warm water.

REMEDIES FOR TIRED EYES:

Rose water-Soak cotton ball and apply to eyes once a week.

Cucumber- Place a slice on each eye for and leave for 10 minutes to relieve stressed eyes.

Potato (shredded) - Put on top of eyes to reduce black circles and leave for 10 minutes.
